Lollapalooza's Last Band Standing
In Summer of 2006, Days Awake was selected among hundreds of amateur bands by Perry Farrell as one of America's best 20 live performers. However, the band withdrew honorably from the contest in the final week of preliminary voting, citing apparent unfair voting practices via internet bots as being contrary to the spirit of the contest.
The Rick Barry Era
From November 2006 through April 2007, core members of the Days Awake band performed a number of special appearances in Asbury Park and New York City together with lead vocalist Rick Barry.
